Forming 2

A world described as made up by interrelated forms and fields is different from the normal idea of the world as a material earth where people and material objects are governed by power structures.
One advantage of the form-field model is that all of us inhabitants in the world can express ourselves freely. In a power-based structure maybe only one person per nation (like Stalin or Mao) has full freedom. In a materially based society it is very heavy to express oneself - a big house, a big car and millions of objects are necessary. The earth is too small for all of us to have all this.
In a form-field world we can use anything as a form. It can be material objects, but also actions, words and even thoughts.
As human beings, our great quality is our ignorance. It is our potential for learning. If we seek truth by practical experiments, we are likely to hurt ourselves and others.
If we instead use words and thoughts, we can try out more ideas for less damage. And eventually we can find our ideals, and thus create the best combination of form and field.
